This is a brief description from VideoMaker:

Traditionally, when you want to create a chromakey effect it's a much-involved and tricky affair. You'll need a backdrop or wall that's painted one solid color, usually blue or green, and you'll have to light it evenly to achieve a uniform key color. At least, you used to. That's all changed now that Play has introduced its innovative chromakeying solution called HoloSet. The HoloSet system includes an ultra-reflective backdrop material and a cool HoloRing optical emitter that fits around your camcorder's lens to cast a broadcast-quality key source without chroma spill. The system is designed for advanced videographers who put a premium on chromakey effects and who are willing to pay for them. The system isn't cheap, but when you consider that you don't need an expensive lighting setup for the backdrop, and factor in the time you'll save, you may find that the system pays for itself.

The System

The HoloSet system is customizable and portable. It consists of a HoloRing, which fits on your camcorder's lens and emits a ring of blue or green lights. The other elements of the system include reflective background material and a controller/power supply that controls the intensity of the light that the ring emits. The system we received from Play was custom made. It consisted of a blue HoloRing (optical emitter), a controller, power supply and 13-by-13.5-foot reflective material. This system costs about $4,800, but Play offers a Starter's Kit that costs about $1,575. It's the same system that we reviewed but the reflective material is much smaller, measuring 2-by-1.4-meters (6.56-by-4.59-feet). This is an affordable system that can get you up and running quickly. Since the reflective material can be cut to order, you can save considerably by cutting down on the amount of material you need. Setup was quick and easy. We hung the 13-by-13.5-foot reflective backdrop on our production studio wall and attached the HoloRing (optical emitter) to a Canon GL1 Mini DV camcorder. The HoloRing comes in two sizes to fit professional or consumer camcorders. The small HoloRing will fit camera lenses with diameters from 44.45mm to 74.93mm, while the large HoloRing fits camera lenses with diameters from 60.64mm to 115.82mm. We easily attached the ring to our camcorder's lens.
